It can be awkward sometimes when there isn't anything available that I can eat. The same goes for friends of mine who are lactose intolerant, or gluten free, things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1765362 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:44:32 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1765362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I could sample for every meal I probably would, so I definitely vote pre-order. :grin: yuummmm.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764870 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:40:07 +0000 snowjewelz 1764870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sheskrafty: I ended up missing her opening presents b/c I only allotted 2.5 hrs there and we got done eating after 2.5 hrs! It was quite traumatic lol. But then again you have less people so it wouldn't be as crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764867 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:37:55 +0000 sheskrafty 1764867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all!! I was going to pre-order, I just didn't want to assume that would be the preferred way. Plus I just remembered a lot of the people going are very indecisive so this makes it easier for them. And if they truly don't like anything on the table they can order something off the menu. </p> <p>@Snowjewelz: You bring up a great point - by the time everyone got done saying hi, it would take an hour just to figure out and order food. </p> <p>@Lulabee: I'll definitely have some vegetarian options! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764852 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:31:40 +0000 yellowbird 1764852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sample! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764851 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:31:30 +0000 Weagle 1764851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sample. Don't make the guests do the work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764846 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:29:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1764846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since its not a meal, I would vote to sample. Obviously have some basic choices like just cheese, but sampling is fun and it gives people something to talk about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764840 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:28:39 +0000 LulaBee 1764840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted sample but it's hard as a vegetarian sometimes... make sure to order some veggie pizza :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764825 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:24:54 +0000 snowjewelz 1764825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just think letting people order will take soo long. That happened at a baby shower I went to; they had a special, shortened menu but between getting people to sit down and look at the menu, to ordering, to the food coming, it took so much time away from everything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764820 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:23:27 +0000 Mamaof2 1764820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sample a lot of different ones! Plus that way the food will be ready when they arrive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764819 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:23:17 +0000 Smurfette 1764819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sample! Then I get to try more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sprinkle-food-question#post-1764813 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:22:14 +0000 sheskrafty 1764813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am hosting a surprise baby sprinkle with my mother-in-law for my sister-in-law's 2nd baby. The sprinkle is on the patio of a restaurant and they have brick oven pizzas. Should I pre-order an assortment of pizzas/apps/salads/desserts or just let people order what they want? The sprinkle is at 4pm on a Saturday and there is going to be 14 people there. </p> <p>If you were going would you want to pick out your food or would you rather sample a bunch of different food? </p>
